Let's Talk About the ROG Ally X...

Hands on the new ROG Ally X, ASUS's premium Windows gaming handheld. With double the battery capacity, improved cooling, and some nice ergonomic tweaks, it's a significant step up from the original Ally. While it's not cheap at $800, it just might be the best Windows 11 PC gaming handheld on the market right now.

I would wait another 6 months for the ROG Ally Y, maybe even a year for the Z

I'm glad that you're not shilling as hard in this video as with the laptop video that you did when the ASUS debacle exploded.

My recommendation, though, is to wait a month or two after release and see if you can't get it open box from Best Buy. You easily save $200 off the bat for a lightly loved unit.

[WorthyOfAWar]

Its $1570 after tax and 2 yrs of best buy protection here in Canada. A major noooo at that price. You pretty much have to buy that BB protection considering Asus warranty and customer service is as useless as a bag full of doorknobs. Meanwhile the Legion Go is on sale for $749 and theres no way in hell the X is worth over $400 more then the Go.... Period.

Thank you Gamernexus for exposing ASUS

The one thing i don’t like about my Ally and other windows handhelds besides Windows. Is they have offset sticks and diagonal d-pad/face buttons. For me it forces your hands to grip lower and higher to reach like the Switch layout. Vs the Steam Deck that has even sticks with d-pad and face bottoms right next to each other. And they’re all at the top while the Ally layout is spread out on the top half, Steam Deck is just more comfortable to hold honestly.

Just needs an OLED screen and the hall effect sticks and triggers and it'll be perfect.

The OG Steam Deck will forever remain my preferred handheld gaming device, so many good memories.

I love my steam deck oled. If I want better graphics I just play on my desktop

[jhuehne]

How do the ergonomics compare to those on Logitech g cloud?

Got an ally x running bazzite. Its the best handheld right now.

[steveshepley]

I don’t have a handheld gaming system. Should I wait or buy at this point?

4th day of straight Ally X news and reviews. Im loving my YouTube feed rn. 😍

[acwbit]

finally someone brings up the gpu has 8gb of vram now vs the older ally gagging the system ram for vram

[digitaldonovin]

Can you actually upgrade to 8TB? or is it one of those slim 2280 slots that can only hold SSDs that have the chips on one side only while the other side is flat. Because that would limit it to only 4tb.

[digitaldonovin]

All the handhelds are so good with bazzite on them. Performance goes through the roof. Rocking a legion go with bazzite with windows on an externall ssd for controller updates and shite.

[flute]

should iget this or wait for ally 2 to get either that or x on cheaper price?

[MaChuKindaCrasee]

So like..if I lug this, a 16' external monitor and a keeb...can this replace my laptop?

Ken’s playlist showing TOGETOGE is the best part of this video

[rubencontreras]
